HostFolio is a free property management dashboard built specifically for Indian Airbnb hosts.

Yes. HostFolio is completely free for the first 3 months with no credit card required. After the free trial, plans start at ₹499 per month for 1 property. There are no hidden fees and you can cancel anytime.

How is HostFolio different from Hostaway or Guesty?

Hostaway and Guesty are priced for Western markets at $100–200 per month and are not built for India. HostFolio is built specifically for Indian hosts — INR currency, GST compliance, SMS via Indian numbers, UPI payments via Razorpay and AI pricing using live Indian Airbnb market data. Plans start at ₹499 per month.

Which platforms does HostFolio sync with?

HostFolio syncs bookings from Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, MakeMyTrip, Goibibo and Agoda via iCal integration. New bookings from any platform automatically appear in your HostFolio dashboard and inbox within 15 minutes.

How does HostFolio AI dynamic pricing work?

HostFolio uses Google Gemini AI to analyse live competitor prices on Airbnb in your exact area, combined with your own booking history and current occupancy rate, to suggest the optimal nightly rate for tonight. Hosts typically see 15–25% more revenue in the first month.

Does HostFolio support GST compliance for Airbnb income?

Yes. HostFolio automatically calculates GST on every booking based on Indian accommodation rules — 0% for under ₹1,000 per night, 12% for ₹1,000–7,499 and 18% for ₹7,500 and above. It splits every payment into CGST, SGST and IGST based on guest location and generates a PDF P&L report ready for your CA.

Can HostFolio manage multiple properties?

Yes. The Starter plan supports 3 properties, Pro supports 10 and Agency supports unlimited properties. All properties are visible in a single unified dashboard, calendar and inbox.

How does the task board and housekeeping automation work?

After every guest checkout HostFolio automatically creates a cleaning task and sends an SMS alert to your assigned housekeeping staff. You can assign tasks, set deadlines and track completion from the task board without sending manual WhatsApp messages.

Does HostFolio send automated messages to guests?

Yes. HostFolio sends automated email and SMS messages for booking confirmations, check-in reminders and checkout reminders. The Smart Inbox also uses AI to draft reply suggestions in warm, professional or brief tones across all platforms.

What is the Property ROI Evaluator?

The Property ROI Evaluator is an AI-powered calculator that helps you decide whether a property is worth buying, renting or leasing for short-term rental. Enter the purchase price or rent amount and it calculates your expected monthly revenue, occupancy rate, expenses and net return on investment based on live market data.

Does HostFolio work with MakeMyTrip and Goibibo?

Yes. HostFolio syncs bookings from MakeMyTrip and Goibibo via iCal, in addition to Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and Agoda. This makes it one of the few property management tools that supports Indian OTAs natively.

Is HostFolio suitable for first-time Airbnb hosts?

Yes. HostFolio is designed to be set up in under 2 minutes — paste your Airbnb iCal link and your bookings start syncing automatically. No technical knowledge required. The free 3-month trial means you can start with zero risk.

How does two-way iCal sync work?

HostFolio can export your calendar back to Airbnb and Booking.com so that when you block dates in HostFolio, those dates are automatically blocked on all connected platforms. This prevents double bookings across platforms.

Where is HostFolio available?

HostFolio is currently available for hosts in India. It is optimised for Indian cities including Goa, Bangalore, Mumbai, Manali, Coorg, Udaipur, Shimla, Rishikesh, Kerala, Lonavala, Ooty and Kasauli.
